I have configured a HP network printer to work with DSL using cups and print using the lp command. This seems to work ok for me. However, after I reboot I must go int myDSL and start cups and also I use the DSLpanel to start the printing/lpr option. I would like to be able to configure my boot so that the printer is available without the manual procedures.

Thanks for the reply. After playing around I found a solution which must be obvious to many experienced users.

1) Add the cheat lpr to the menu.lst kernel boot command

2) Add the command /usr/sbin/cupsd line to the bootlocal.sh file. Alternatively you can use /usr/sbin/cupsd -c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf pointing to the configuration file although I have not tried using the second command.
